What's in a name?

What a busy few weeks!  I haven't spent nearly enough time studying as I would have liked.  But I'm slowly compiling a nice stack of flash cards to help me learn the Sanskrit names of the asanas.  I have to admit this is a daunting task for me!  Thankfully Alanna Kaivalya wrote a wonderful book that is helping.  In the Myths of the Asanas Alanna shares the ancient story behind each asana and its corresponding movement.  Buy this book!  Understanding the history of the poses can deepen your practice and in my case help me memorize the Sanskrit names.  Check it out:  Myths of the Asanas
